Views On Sex

Everyone has their own views on sex, so I'm going to throw mine in the pot as well. I believe it to be quite simple, so this will be a short post.

As one might guess, I consider the matter from practical terms. Sex serves two purposes: breeding and pleasure. To me, outside of marriage, breeding is the only useful purpose and the only reason one should have sex. Thus if a woman came up to me and asked to have sex, and it was demonstrated that she was drug and disease free and no contraceptives would be used, I'd be forced by logic to oblige. If she becomes pregnant, my genes score, and without having to have any paternal investment in the matter.

This is not often the case, though. People have sex now just for pleasure alone, with breeding coming as a secondary thought, and I don't believe in that. If I want pleasure, I can do drugs, or I can work on something fun, or...I can do a lot of things, and orgasmic feelings are surely not the highest pleasures.

Should all sex therefore be done just to breed? There is a single exception, and that is sex within marriage. So long as the pair do plan to breed (or have bred), pleasure-sex can indeed strengthen the relationship. It then has a purpose beyond the pleasure, and so it makes sense to do.

So yeah... Sex is good iff for breeding or strengthening a relationship, otherwise it's a waste of time. I know most people won't subscribe to this view, and frankly I don't care much if they do or don't. I just think it's more practical.
